........................

An Yan twenty-three years, spring, the emperor's bedroom.

General Yang, who was preparing to go on the expedition, came to Zhao Jinsheng's dormitory as usual today, but he learned a terrible news.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that time is running out this time. That's what the old lady said.

Yang Qi always thought that Zhao Jinsheng was pretending to be sick, and he had never seen that pretending to be sick could make it true, and then took a closer look, Zhao Jinsheng's face really looked like he was about to die, and Zhao Qinian was sitting on the side crying.

"Come on, go and invite Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain. As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, he saw a father-in-law saying that there was an old Taoist priest outside who asked to see him.

Yang Qi didn't know how the Taoist priest entered the palace, but he didn't care, so he asked people to come in.

I saw a Taoist priest with a similar temperament to Zhang Tianshi walk in, and his first words were: "General Yang, Poor Dao is here to send pills for His Majesty." ”

"Dare to ask where the real person lives?" Yang Qi asked expressionlessly.

"The patriarch of the middle and south of the poor road, the number of the Tao is to send the spirit. ”

"It turned out to be a real person who sent a spirit, and I had heard your name from Zhang Tianshi a long time ago. Yang Qi's face was upright, and he bowed, only then did he believe that this Taoist priest of unknown origin was believed.

"Dare to ask the real person where is this elixir? If the real person has any requirements, he can just say. ”

"I didn't have this elixir with me, so I asked General Yang to go and get it with me. The real person laughed unfathomably.

"Dare to ask where you are going?"

"Zhongnan. ”

Yang Qi felt that it was a little far away, and since the real person who sent the spirit was from Zhongnan, but he didn't bring the medicine with him, he had to go and get it together, what did this mean?

However, Yang Qi didn't bother to think about it and nodded.

The spirit real person smiled slightly, and reached out and gently put it on Yang Qi's shoulder.

Yang Qi didn't know what it meant, who knew that the scenery in front of him had changed in the blink of an eye, he was still in Zhao Jinsheng's dormitory before, but now he was in a big mountain, and he could see a grass building in the forest.

Yang Qi didn't know if this was real or illusory, and turned his head to look at the real person on the side.

"This place is Zhongnan, general, please come with me. After sending Ling Zhenren to walk towards the grass building, Yang Qi followed behind.

When Yang Qi entered the room, he saw a child who was almost sixteen years old sitting on the bed meditating, as if he didn't realize that there were two people in the room.

Sending Ling Zhenren to the table, a jade bottle appeared on the originally empty table, "There is an elixir in that bottle, which can give His Majesty another five years." ”

Yang Qi was still in shock, and when he heard the shocking news, "I can only live for five years in this life?"

"Providence is so, and the festival is passing. "The ability to send Ling Zhenren to comfort people is not strong at all, and after speaking, he pointed to the child on the bed, "His name is Yang Xiaoyang." ”

Yang Qi finally suppressed his sadness, he didn't understand what the real person meant by introducing the child, and heard the real person say: "The general wants to take away the bottle of pill, it's okay." But promise me that you will not see your children in the rest of your life. ”

Yang Qi felt that his head would be big if he talked to the Taoist priest too much, and he didn't understand what the real person meant, but he still nodded for the sake of the elixir.

Don't you know that you don't even have a daughter-in-law now?

"Then take the elixir away. The spirit man smiled and walked out of the house.

Yang Qi looked at the child sitting cross-legged on the bed and picked up the jade bottle on the table. I just clenched it and wanted to ask how to go back, but in the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of me changed again.

He was still standing outside the dormitory, and there was an invisible fold on his shoulder, which Yang Qi, who used to be a tailor, could see at a glance.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the pill in his hand, and wanted to thank the real person, but found that the real person who sent the spirit was not beside him, as if he had just had a dream.

Only the jade bottle in his hand reminded him that it was true.

Yang Qi had a conjecture in his heart.

.................................

On the night when Yang Xiaoyang was taken to Zhongnan, he lived in a grass building not far from where the patriarch lived, which was said to have been lived in before, and then the person had been gone for a long time, and the grass building was cheaper than Yang Xiaoyang.

The patriarch gave Yang Xiaoyang a copper plate, which could be put under Xiao Di's neck to prevent the wound from being exposed.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't seem to care about Xiao Di's lack of body when he talked to the patriarch, but after helping Xiao Di wipe his face, he said softly: "Xiao Di, if I don't cultivate to a human immortal within three years, I will go with you to find my mother and Uncle Xu." ”

In the past few days, the patriarch said that he would not accept Yang Xiaoyang as an apprentice, but Yang Xiaoyang had questions, and the patriarch would still answer them one by one, even if it was some questions that wanted people to beat him.

"Ancestor, what realm are you in now?"

"I am the only earth immortal in the world. "The patriarch looked stunned, not like a cultivator who has achieved the Tao.

"I've heard that the book says that cultivation can lead to immortality, is it true or false?"

"If you cultivate to the earth immortals, you can live forever and live with heaven and earth. "I was dumbfounded.

"You lie. ”

"How did I deceive someone?"

"Since the Earth Immortal is immortal, where did the previous Earth Immortal go, how could you be the only Earth Immortal in the world?"

The patriarch glanced at him, "The earth immortals can open up a cave sky, and the previous earth immortals have all gone to stay in their cave heavens." ”

"Ancestor, why don't you open up the cave heaven, do you want to be a living immortal in the world?"

The patriarch slapped Yang Xiaoyang on the head, "Five hundred years ago, you couldn't open the cave." ”

"Is it because the aura of heaven and earth is not enough?"

"Yes. Yang Xiaoyang noticed that once the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Patriarch was mentioned, he would be depressed.

"Can the earth immortals in the cave come out?"

"No, when the aura is exhausted, it is when they fall. The indescribable loneliness and sadness on the patriarch's face, a hundred years of earth immortals are finally a handful of dust.

"What realm can I cultivate with Reiki now?"

"Let's have more immortals. ”

"Then won't the realm of Taoist priests get lower and lower in the future?"

The patriarch did not answer.

"How many years has the ancestor been cultivating?"

"Six hundred years. ”

Yang Xiaoyang's mouth opened wide, "What about Chongxiao Zhenren?"

"Four hundred years. ”

Yang Xiaoyang swallowed, "What about the ancestor's master?"

"He ascended five hundred years ago, and he was the last person in the world to ascend. The patriarch said with some nostalgia, it seems that the patriarch never hides his feelings.

"Can you ascend to the Heavenly Immortals?"

"Yes. ”

"Where is the ascension going?"

"Immortal realm. ”

"What's in the fairy world?"

"There are immortals in the fairy world. ”

......

"Ancestor, the six qi are Chaoxia, Zhengyang, Feiquan, Xianlian, and Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Qi. The first four spring eclipses the morning glow, that is, the red yellow gas of the sunrise. Autumn food flying spring, that is, the red yellow gas of sunset. Winter eclipse is the air of the night in the north. Summer eclipse Zhengyang, that is, the air of the sun in the south. I understand all of this, what is that Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang?"

"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang is the sect of all qi, and it is impossible to find it. ”

"What does that look like, wouldn't it be a pity if I met but missed it because I didn't know him?" Yang Xiaoyang looked sad and lamentable.

"You can't meet it. The patriarch said angrily.

Seeing that Yang Xiaoyang seemed to have endless questions, the patriarch waved his hand and drove him out of the house, "If you have time to ask questions, you might as well go to cultivation." ”

"Ancestor, I still don't know a lot of words in this book!" Yang Xiaoyang called outside the house, staining the land of Qing cultivation in Zhongnan with dust.

In the past, Yang Xiaoyang was happy and quiet, always greeting others with a smile, but now he is more like releasing his true nature.

Then Yang Xiaoyang practiced the Qi Eating Method for a few days, and the patriarch asked him to follow Meng Zhen to the mountain gate to entertain guests, and also prepared a Taoist robe, Yang Xiaoyang really looked like a Taoist priest when he put it on.

At the mountain gate, Yang Xiaoyang looked at the stone tablet engraved with the Tao Te Ching and was amazed, and asked Meng Zhen on the side: "Senior brother, why doesn't the ancestor let me read the Tao Te Ching?"

Although the patriarch did not accept him as an apprentice, he still wanted to call Meng Zhen a senior brother.

"I don't know. ”

"The Dao Sutra is useful for cultivation?"

"It worked. ”

"Senior brother, are you practicing the Qi Eating Method or the Thunder Method?"

"The Eating Gas Method. ”

"What about Chongxiao Zhenren?"

"Rayfa. ”

"Senior Brother......

"Xiaoyang, let me tell you something, after today, I will be in retreat and cultivation, and you will have to entertain guests here alone in the future. ”

Yang Xiaoyang didn't think that Meng Zhen disliked him, Meng Zhen always looked like a gentleman like jade at all times, but every time he saw him, he couldn't wait to put the word guilt on his head.

The next day, Yang Xiaoyang had to watch the few tourists alone at the mountain gate, but fortunately he didn't meet anyone who came to ask for the Dharma, otherwise he really didn't know what to do with this half-person.

Looking at the autumn leaves, in the days without the company of Xiao Di, I can only enjoy the blood-red mountains and forests alone and watch the butterflies flying in autumn.

When the sun set, Yang Xiaoyang didn't think of the scene where he saw the corpses of his mother and Uncle Xu in the yard after the sun set, and he thought of the scene when Xiaodi's head flew up when the sun didn't set a few days ago, his back bent a little, and his expression was not like a child.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at the sunset and felt that the feeling of loneliness was uncomfortable, and he didn't know when Xiaohua would wake up, and he didn't know where Xiaohua went.

Inhaling the red yellow breath of the sunset, Yang Xiaoyang waited.

That's a year......

In the fifteenth year of Yuanwu, in Yang Xiaoyang's thatched hut, Yang Xiaoyang, who was just about to have lunch, looked at Xiao Di, who suddenly woke up, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, not knowing how to explain her body.

Xiao Di woke up and was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Ah, why is my body gone? Great, I don't have to worry about not being able to eat delicious food in the future." ”

Yang Xiaoyang looked at the elated Xiao Di, but tears flowed down uncontrollably, because he clearly saw the fleeting fear in Xiao Di's eyes.

However, Yang Xiaoyang didn't say anything, and took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on Xiao Di's copper plate, "Little rabbit will show you something fun." Then he recited a mantra in his mouth, and the copper plate dragged Xiao Tu and flew up.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Xiao Di, who was laughing, and didn't say anything about three years, and felt that he had to learn from Xiao Di to be strong.
